The Dodge & Cox International Stock Fund dividend comes from a fund that invests at least 80% of its assets in equities of companies domiciled outside the U.S., targeting medium- to large-cap businesses across a range of markets. The fund currently yields 4.43%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $0.8320 per share. The next ex-dividend date is December 18, 2025. At a beta of 0.9, DODFX moves nearly in line with the broader market, which suits income-focused investors who want international equity exposure without extreme volatility.
Dodge & Cox International Stock Fund pays out dividends as a fund, so a traditional payout ratio is not applicable (fund/ETF). The fund's primary objective explicitly targets both long-term capital growth and a consistent income stream, with holdings concentrated in well-established medium- to large-cap companies outside the U.S. Dodge & Cox International Stock Fund dividend safety is shaped by the performance of those underlying international equity holdings, meaning distributions can fluctuate year to year as portfolio income and realized gains vary, which the historical data confirms.
Dodge & Cox International Stock Fund dividend history shows a CAGR of 2.2% per year from 2005 to 2024. Per-share payments moved from $0.7410 in 2005 to $1.1240 in 2024 (the 2025 figure of $0.8320 is a partial year, so Dodge & Cox International Stock Fund dividend 2026 comparisons should use 2024 as the baseline). The largest annual increase in the window was 134.0% in 2007, but the data also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, which reflects how fund distributions tied to international equity income can swing sharply from year to year.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | -4.7% | $0.96 (2022) | $0.83 (2025) |
| 5-Year | -14.7% | $1.84 (2020) | $0.83 (2025) |
| 10-Year | -0.1% | $0.84 (2015) | $0.83 (2025) |
DODFX fits income-focused investors who want international equity exposure and can accept year-to-year variability in distributions. The yield is classified as high (above 4%), but at 4.43% it sits below the fund's own 5-year average of 5.56%, meaning the current payout is on the lower end of its recent range. Growth over the long run has been slow at 2.2% per year, and the history includes meaningful declines in some years. What an investor gets is a high starting yield backed by a globally diversified equity portfolio; what they accept is distribution volatility driven by the performance of international markets rather than a predictable, steadily rising payout.
